It's a Web 2.0 world. Prepare your students.
From social networking to video sharing and blogging, Web 2.0 has transformed the Internet, and has the power to transform education.
Research continues to show that students learn better when they are active participants in their education, rather than just passive recipients of information. We also know that students feel disengaged from technology and communication when they “power down” in schools and leave their usual methods of communication and information-access behind.
Web 2.0 offers many advantages for collaborative, engaging, active learning. But it also opens up some risks to safety and security. Because of the safety risks of Web 2.0 sites and the challenges of filtering their ever-changing content, students often don’t get to engage in the participatory learning that the Internet offers.
Innovative technologies and ideas can help districts safely open up Web 2.0 learning opportunities.
